Screening for premalignant cervical lesions in Egypt is important given the high incidence of cervical cancer. Visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) is recommended for screening in developing countries due to its low cost, simplicity, and ability to provide immediate results and treatment. Mansoura University experience found VIA to be a sensitive screening method, detecting cervical lesions. While a positive VIA does not always indicate cancer, it allows for low-cost screening and identification of suspicious lesions requiring further evaluation or treatment.
